Life of Literary People.
"T. W. H."in Harper's Bazaar.

If it be said that literary people must live, and that literature is pre- carious means of support, the obvious repy would be that all means of in- come are precarious, and literature no more so than the rest. Whatever en- ployment one chooses, he must take the risk of failure in it. Many law yer has literally almost no clients: many physician has hardly any pa- tients; and why should a writer ex- pect to be more secure? His possible prizes in money are not so great as the lawyers probably, but they are gr r.ater than those of t..e physician or the clergyman; and the blanks are less, on the whole, than in either of these occupations. have known men of all these professions who were abso- lutely unemployed. A lawyer of un- usual attainments, returning in middle life to the home of his youth, told re that for one year he had not a single client, e'reat or small; he did not so much as draw a will or deed.
 I have never known a decentlv o4uIPpcu literary man or woman to be left thus hopelessly stranded; there was always something to be earned, even at a low price. Apparently the bitterest of these complaints emanate from literary men in large cities who live face to face with the vast sue. esses of the stock exchange, and cannot be satisfied so long as the nation does not furnish the.n with corresponding in- comes. They do not recognize that perhaps it is poverty which has drawn out of them whatever approach to genius they have shown; and that, if they gained the millions which they seem to themselves to deserve, perhaps the genius might vanish, like the song of & canary which is fed too we'll.

"I guess I'd better withdraw from the church for two or three months,' , said Dakota man to the minister.
 "Why, how's that, brother what's the matter?" inquired the pastor.
 "I feel three or four cyclone lies sort of working around in my mind, and they've got to come out. Just give me leave of absence for say ninety days, and Pll be back with you again next fall. I believe they will be some of the thunderingest cy- clone lies ever told, and I don't want to disgrace the church. ."-Dakota Bell.

THE POET.
BY WILL HunpARp.KERNAr.

He smote his wild harp's answering strings And sang of sea, and sky, and sod As but the types of mystic things Foreshadowed from the throne of God The sunburst of our swinging star, Its light, its lilies and it's lays, The twilight through whose gates ajar Pass the dead splendor of the days. The night with purple deep on deep Besprent with immemorial stars, The fairies dancing on the steep
 Where fell the moonlight's yellow bars. The flash of floods upon the sand, The sails and shadows on the sea, The voice of forests green and grand, The scent of violets on the lea. The shriek of wind and wood and waves, When storms were changing in the sky, The crash of throbbing thunder slaves, The flame of meteors flashing by. All these were fused within his strain, And lent tongue to nature, where Before, mute, passionate, in vain She yearned her secret sense to bare.
 -NeW Fork Mercury.

Chicago on the New Sensation.

The bars had to wheel into line. Moxie was the call everywhere. It is said to be the same in New York, Philadelphia, Washington and three other large cities west. What is the difference, if they can sell as much and make as much profit? The imitators attempted to kill it in New York, but the boys did not get the effect from the bogus, and cut their saloon. This brought the dealers to their senses, and now pure Moxie is the rule there. The dealers will look out in Chicago. A fraud never gets over a trick of that kind. There is no need of fraud. Pure Moxie is cheap enough.

AN OLD MANS IDYL.
BY RICHARD REALF.

By the waters of life we sat together, Hand in hand, in the golden days Of the beautiful early summer weather. When skies were purple and breath was When the heart kept tune to the carol of
 birds,
 And the birds kept tune to the songs that Through shimmer of flowers on grassy swards, And the trees with voices Eolian. By the river of life we walked together, and my darling unafraid, And lighter than any linnet's feather The burdens of being on us were laid. And loves sweet miracles OCT us threw Mantles of joy, outlasting time, And up from the rosy morrows grew sound that seemed like marriage chime. In the gardens of life we strayed together, And the luscious apples were ripe and red, And the languid lilac and honeyed heather Swooned with the fragrance that they shed And under the trees the angels walked, And up in the air sense of wings Awed us tenderly while we talked Softly in sacred cOmmunings. In the meadows of life we strayed together, Watching the waving haryests grow, And under the benisons of the Father, Our hearts, like the lambs, skipped to and
 fro;
 And the cowslips, hearing our low replies, Broldered fairer the emerald banks, And glad tears shone in the daisies eyes As the timid violet glistened thanks. Who was with us, and what was round us, Neither nor my darling guessed; Only we knew that something crowned us Out from the Heavens with crowns of rest Only we knew that something bright Fingered lovingly where we stood, Clothed in the incandescent light
 Of something higher than womanhood. Oh! the riches love does inherit;
 Ah! the alchemy which doth change Dross of body and dregs of spirit
 Into sanctities rare and strange! My flesh is feeble and am old,
 And my darling's beautiful hair is gray, But our elixir and precious gold
 Laugh at the footsteps of decay. Harms of the world have come upon us, Cups Of sorrow we yet shall drain; But we have a secret which doth show us Wonderful rainbows in the rain And we hear the tread of the years go by, - And the sun Is setting behind the hills, But my darling does not fear to die, And am happy in what God wills. So we sit by our household fires together, Dreaming the dreams of long ago; Then It was balmy summer weather, Now the valleys are laid In snow. Iclcles hang from the slippery caves, The wind blows cold; 1t is growing late; Well, well, we have garnered all our sheaves and my darling-and we wait.
 -E1chdnge.

 "I think you might have told me, Alan," said Hughie, sulkily, "and not let me make such fool of myself"
 "Well, to begin with, Hughie," said Trevor, Git never entered my mind that you went about distributing aims in that reckless way. I can un- derstand your kissing pretty model, but your giving a sovereign to an ugly one-by love, no! Besides, the fact is that l really was not at home to-day to any one; and when you came in I didn't know whether Haus- berg would like his name mentioned. You know he wasn't in full dress"
 "What duffer he must think me p said Hughie.
 "Not at all. He was in the highest spirits after you left; kept chuckling to himself and rubbing his old wrin- kled hands together. couldn't make out why he was so interested to know all about you; but I see it all now. He'll invest your sovereign for you, Hughie, pay you the interest every six months, and have a capital story to tell after dinner"
 "I am an unlucky devil," growled Hughie. "The best thing can do is to go to bed and, my dear Alan, you mustn't tell any one. shouldn't dare to show my face in the Row."
 "Nonsense! It reflects the highest credit on your philanthropic spirit, Hughie, and don't run away. Have another cigarette, and you can talk about Laura as much as you like"
 However, Hughie wouldn't stop, but walked home, feeling very un- happy, and leaving Alan Trevor in fits of laughter.
 The next morning, as he was at breakfast, the servant brought him up card, on which was written, "Mon- sieur Gustave Naudin, de la part de M. le Baron Hausberg." q suppose he has come for an apology" said Hughie to himself; and he told the servant to show the visitor up.
 An old gentleman with gold specta- cles and gray hair came into the room, and said, in a slight French accent, "Have I the honor of addressing Mon- sieur Hugh Erskine?"
 Hughie bowed.
 "I have come from Baron Haus- berg," he continued. "The baron"
 'T beg, sir, that you will offer him my sincere apologies" said Hughie.
 "The baron," said the old gentle man, with q smile, "has commissioned me to bring you this letter.; and he handed Hughie sealed envelope.
 On the outside was written: "A wedding present to Hugh Erskine and Laura Merton, from an old beg gar," and inside was a check for 10, ,OO0 pounds.
 When they were married Alan Ire vor was the best man, and the baron made speech at the wedding break fast.
 "Millionaire models" said Alan, "are rare enough; but, by love, model millionaires are rarer still !"-London WOrld.

DEATH OF AUNT LUCINDY HILL.

An Old Colored Woman Who Washed Lady
Washington's Feet--A Big Slave Sale.
Aug usta tGa. Special.
The singular death Of Aunt Luclndy Hill, in
Marion county, recalls her to the memory of the
oldest citizens of this city, who recollect her
having been the housemaid of General Heard
when George Washington visited Augusta dur
ing his presidential term She assigned to
the service Of Mrs Washington during her stay
in Augusta, and it was her constant boast in
after life that che had washed Lady Washing
tons feet"
Aunt Lucindy and her husband, Uncle Jim
Hill, settled in the northern part of Marion
county after the war. They were both pure
Africans. black as the ace of spades, but polite
and obliging in their disposition. They were
then people of great age but refused to live on
charity. working as long as health permitted.
The old man grew. SO decrepit that ne could not
leave hfs cabin, when Aunt Lucindy undertook to
provide for him alone. She made a visit to the
family of Mr. W. HI. Carington, and leaving
that house near sunset, was heard of no more
until week later, when some boys found her
dead body unused pathway which she had
taken for home. 1t s supposed that she was
taken suddenly i'll, rendering it impossible for
her to reach her home and, lying down, she
died alone Her husband, not being unable to
leave his cabin, could not give the alarm of her
absence.
Uncle Jim, who is remarkably intelligent for
one of his color, bemoaned tho loss OF his wife
sadly, but readily answered all questions asked
FROM tnls conversation II was learned that oe-
fore the war Jim had asked his master his age
Consultation with the slave record showed that
Jim was at that time seventy five years old at
least. He met Aunt Lucndy after she had | cen
sold by General Heard to VIM. Thomas. who
took her to Clarke county. He said that she was
his second wife, his first wife and children hav-
ing been sold from him. Thinking that Aunt
Lucindy was then too old to have more children,
he married her seventy years ago. Although she
had borne by her first husband thirteen chill
dren, she afterwards became the mother of nine
more by her second marriage.
Years after. Aunt Lucindy and her children
were placed upon the block in Watkinsville.
The sale had been we'll advertised, and the sue
cess of this boom in human flesh may be imag-
iDed when it ia stated that the family was
knocked down to the highest bidder for the
prncely sum Of $50. 600.
".Me an de ole oman got together agin arte.
de wah." said the old man, "but de chillun was
scattered SO we could hear no more of 'um."

THE KHEDIvE OF EGYPT.

Some Personalities Concerning the Ruler Of
the Land of the Pharaohs.
Correspondence Detroit Tribune.
Now what kind of q man is Khedive Tewfkq
can only tell you what they say" and what
various little sketches say of him.
He is not man of great intellect, but he is
honest beyond most Egyptians or Turks, they
say. He has not been educated with view to
the succession. He has never travelled. He
speaks even French, which everybody educated
at all is supposed to know, but imperfectly. and
is ANONYMOUSLY fond of telling stories of how his
boys flor whose education he furnishes the best
European teachers to be had) correct his bad
pronunciation. He is fond. also of telling stories
of his encounters with the English guards
who were placed round the palace, which he
came SO suddenly to occupy, and who. not sus-
pecting who the little man was. tried to prevent
his entrance to his own. Once, when thus bad
gered, Tewfk gave a small coin 20 the sentry
THANK you. Johnnie said the soldier. Tewfk
gave a larger coin. much obliged. SIR" said
the sentry, making a salute. The Khedive gave
gold CON- BEG your pardon. yer 'Ighness;
present arms therer' It is said that he has not
great presence OF mind In a political emergency.
and does not know much of the strategy of war,
but in what concerns personal danger or risk OF
himself no man is more brave. When the chol-
era was raging in Cairo. when people were dying
by thousands and the city was panic-strcken,
Tewik quietly announced that he was going into
| the lions den-to Cairo itself There was great
| CONSERVATION among the suite, who thought
! they would be oblige ed to accompany him. He
said. however, II am going. Arrange among
| yourselves who shall accompany me- and when
| the brave little Khedeviah, his only wife, did
not hesitate, the manly ones il his suite could
| not but follow.
| Among those who know him best he Is said te
| inspire strong affection. The laborers and ten
| ants on his private estate are greatly attached
| to him, and no farmer or landowner in Egypt ii
| so popular among this class of servants rs Tewhl
| among his.
| The education of children is one of his hobbies
and he ia ever ready to listen to any plan favor
| ing the establishment of schools for the people
| He has done much for the government schools
and is anxious to make European schools tn
standard for those in Egypt The two youni
princes, Abbas and Ibrahim. are accounted yer,
bright boys. and they are educated in the strict
est manner, in the way that princes in othe
